Pingyao end of last year I went, this is the second go. Are catching up with the big transformation of the city, the streets digging everywhere, all the telephone pole, street lamps were removed and replaced by Buried underground, the city government is working to restore the scenery of the ancient city of a hundred years ago, called "Distressed for old "The results were power outages throughout the city! I was at 17 o'clock number to the result can only "touch" into the city gates! Looking for a faint black city, I am straight wonder: "Do Pingyao people are not a practicing Falun Gong"? But this time you can see a real city - broken (or perhaps we should say old) in the streets, shop operators, the people's home were lit kerosene lamps, people hurrying from work, their thick winter clothes in the dark kinky cotton winter rain in the background of "Rishengchang ticket number" old plaque, so I seem to stand in two hundred years ago, the Old City! It seems winter is the best season tour of Pingyao, if it is summer, the streets of Guys and Dolls on the whole this scenery destroyed.
The dim kerosene lamps, the temporary Main Street for several major construction of houses is tight, I am positive inside Tantoutannao, the owner was warmly greeted me: "Come in, Come!" Burst of greeting after the owner said that several of their Brothers invested more than 100 sub-10000 bought this old house is now under way Distressed renovated, and then to open private museums to make money. I asked him sure do rely on this wealth, he said that there are several museums under construction in the future will certainly be very fierce competition. Indeed, three years ago only the "Rishengchang ticket number" a museum, now a few more out of 10, exhibits similar, and each ticket at least 10 yuan, visitors might have seen most of the do!
Grand Cross of the blocks hanging "authentic Pingyao Guanyun beef," there are several shops in the guise of, in my eyes is not authentic to the anti-. Random into one, a big wooden desk in the house of the Central Cross-Island, this is definitely a few decades ago the scene of rural cooperatives. "Wahaha", "Coke" have, but placed in here, always feel a bit nondescript.
When I walked in the parking lot outside the city, a boy died in my car while grinding hard foam that must pull me to the sauna, and said it was troubled Miss, are the South, the skin may be white, and the moment I can fire, the side step on the gas side shouted: "Go to your mother, and I just local!" vehicle Yi Liuyan to drive away, and I also heard that guy in the car chasing and regret incessantly cried out: "Local Miss ah, in fact, are local呀... ... ... "
Postscript: If you drive yourself from Taiyuan to Pingyao, the way in the East under the concept of State Road near the main road west to open yunzhouxicun 20 minutes to go, it was Liu Hulan's hometown, built a memorial hall. Run-down village scene, memorials pour is large enough, but it fell into disrepair, the whole afternoon I was the only one visit, want the administrator to explain that she did not lift eyes to say "20!" It for yourself. That is a big guillotine is said year original. The overall impression is, it seems this "glorious death of the great health," failed to give the local hero to bring prosperous life, but I've been to the river in Shanxi Province, which is Yen Hsi-shan - the home of the executioner, Comrade khuran , it has long become a popular tourist destination and is much easier than here.
Of course, when approaching Pingyao, Raise the Red Lantern Joe Courtyard on the main road, we should look. Tickets are 30 yuan, the same with the National Palace Museum, but much smaller than the National Palace Museum.
Shuang Lin Temple a few kilometers outside the city of Pingyao is absolutely worth a visit, the nation's key cultural relics, the Song Dynasty painting in China, unique and amazing.
